Unfortunately, New Jersey's radio station with the strongest signal is also the most idiotic station to ever consume the airwaves. The hosts never trouble themselves with the facts and they spread misinformation far and wide on a multitude of topics to a tremendously gullible listener-ship. Their signal is so strong you can hear them loud and clear well into other states
One of today's topics was chickens. I wasn't able to listen to the entire insane program, only catching part of it on the road between 2 meeting locations (I force myself to tune in for short spells to see what damage they're doing
). "Facts" given out today:
There are chickens and there are roosters. Roosters are not chickens. Roosters are a completely different kind of animal. Only chickens are eaten, never roosters. Indeed, you can't eat them (being a vegetarian who adores her roo, I'm not complaining, mind you, but the factual inaccuracies of this station never cease to amaze me, combined with the rather stunning lack of understanding in general amongst humans about basic chicken stuff). Some folks calling in to talk on the air said - with hesitation - that they thought a roo was a male chicken but the host told them in no uncertain terms that they were wrong.
So there you have it - no wonder people don't get it right, what with self-appointed "authoritative" talk shows confusing the populace! I have a hen and a roo and have overheard people telling others that I have a chicken and a rooster
I've explained that a hen is a girl chicken and a roo is a boy chicken - but for some reason it doesn't stick!I I'll hear that same person subsequently again describe my feathered friends as a chicken and a rooster
Funny planet sometimes.
